[HamWAN PSDR] annoying banter...

[Rob Salsgiver]

Yep - I understand the relationship issued between site and repeater
owners.and it might not get much traction unless they had more than one
internet-connected repeater.  There may be a case for consolidating multiple
'net connected repeaters onto a single back-haul (ours) vs multiple
individual.   It may be of limited use, but if it helps get one site its
worth it!

 

Cheers,

Rob

Yes.  I've spoken @ WWARA already in order to address the repeater owners
throughout the Puget Sound.  What came of that is that most repeater owners
have very little power over their sites when it comes to installing new
gear, and are typically (>95%) not the site owners.  It's still a viable
avenue though in terms of who might be interested in using or supporting
such a system, but probably not from the sites-for-HamWAN angle.  Perhaps
you know more repeater folks, give it a shot!

FWARC has expressed the most interest in D-Star over HamWAN for their D-Star
system.  However, their site is fairly low down, on Graham Hill.

Has there been any thought given to the angle of marketing HamWAN to
repeater owners?

 

Specifically the following two points:

 

1)      Internet based remote control for repeaters

2)      Internet connectivity for repeaters (echolink, IRLP, D-Star
gateways, etc)

 

Getting mountain-top connections to the 'net is often difficult enough.  If
we market right, we may be able to get into sites easier, connect to
multiple repeaters per site, make their lives easier, and drive some
adoption and expansion through that avenue.

 

Cheers,

Rob
